Research Work: Wise Men

BILL GATES - A Wise Man
by Kelvin E. Cantero, II-Acacia

For me, Bill Gates is a man of wisdom. From a mere bored student, Bill Gates became a multi-bilionaire.

William H. Gates was born on October 28, 1955 to a family with a rich business, political and community service background. His great-grandfather was a state legislator and a mayor, his grandfather was a vice-president of National Bank, and his father was a lawyer.

Bill strongly believes in hardwork. He believes that if you are intelligent and know how to apply your intelligence, you can achieve anything. From childhood, Bill was ambitious, intelligent and competitive. These qualities helped him to attain the position in the profession he chose.

It was a very important decision in Bill Gate's life when he was first introduced to a computer. Bill Gates and his friends were very much interested in computers and formed a "Programmers Group" in late 1968. Bill Gates and his close friend Allen started a new company of their own, Traf-O-Data. They developed a small computer to measure traffic flow. From this project, they earned $20,000. The era of Traf-O-Data came to an end when Gates left college. In 1973, he left home for Harvard University. Allen kept on pushing Bill for opening a new software.

Within a year, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard. Then he formed Microsoft TM. Microsoft's vision is "A computer on every desk and Microsoft software on every computer". Bill is a visionary person and works very hard to achieve his vision. His belief in high intelligence and hardwork has put him where he is today.
